It's likely Starfield is going to see a huge drop on the GSD charts. I wonder what Chris is going to have to say about it when the data is released. He's probably going to get upset at some people on twitter again.

Starfield is number 97 on Global Steam seller and the CCU peak today was 21k, lower than Skyrim.

The game is completely dead and will disappear from every sales chart.

Redfall had a huge update today and there's only 15 people playing

Lol Chris still doing his monkey dance to protect Xbox.

Will soon be seeing engagement charts being produced by him.

Microsoft trying to force Redfall into a No Man's Sky turnaround just shows how out-of-touch they are as a company. No Man's Sky turnaround worked because both the devs and the playerbase believed in the vision that was being sold and the devs committed to their vision, and the players responded by coming back. Redfall has no vision, the devs didn't even want to work on it, and the players didn't care except 'oh new release on gamepass' - no one actually gave a fuck about the core game of Redfall. And that's why it won't be able to recover.

No year over year stats? Why are they using month over month?

 

[On Demand]

You should change your headline to the YoY stats @Gods&Monsters , don't let the hater control the narrative with his sudden usage of MoM. We all know sony held back stock for the PS5 revision.

Yes exactly. Don’t go with the bullshit tactic of trying to make Xbox not look too bad by PS5 Being down too.

Which doesn’t help because Xbox is way down and PS5 is only down a little bit because the new PS5 model.

Did anybody ask him why he’s using MoM now and not the normal year over year?

Another Sony domination.

 

[AllBizness]

That thread title mimics the tweet. Propaganda is powerful, the info in that tweet is much bigger then MoM comparisons, but people fall for the headline hook line and sinker.

40% down in the UK is horrible. If xbox was the Titanic it would have hit 10 icebergs after hitting the first one. That whole business is a disaster. How that management team is still working for MS is sad really cause most regular folks that effed up a fraction of a percent like these guys did they would have been fired.

This tweet actually encapsulates how nefarious and dangerous Xbox evangelists are to others, including the written press. This guy wrote something that kinda challenged the party line, received threats left and right, and nowadays behaves in a way that caters to the Xbox braindead crowd.

He was either intimidated, or bribed, or both.

Companies this big, and how they weaponize their fan bases, should be considered terrorist organizations.

Still no mention of YoY in the article

Spider-man 2 is bigger than Ragnarok and the bundle sales are only 6% so that's very good. The game is profitable by itself, the free slim bundle won't hurt too much.

Compared with last year's big PlayStation game, God of War Ragnarok, the first two weeks of sales are 2% higher for Spider-Man 2. Note: God of War Ragnarok was available on PS4 and PS5, whereas Spider-Man 2 is purely a PS5 game.

There was a slight dip of 4% in sales of PS5, although it was still a very strong month for Sony's console. 56% of PS5s sold in October were for the official EA Sports FC 24 hardware bundle. The Spider-Man 2 edition of the console accounted for 6% of sales.

You seem to support agendas since your thread title still has the sane information.
